Fluke networks B0002NYATC Operating instructions

Brand: Fluke networks

Model: B0002NYATC

Type: Operating instructions

Fluke Networks B0002NYATC Visual Fault Locator helps trace optical fibers, check continuity, and find faults such as breaks, bad splices, and tight bends in fiber optic cables. The universal adapter accepts connectors with 2.5mm ferrules (SC, ST, or FC), and an optional adapter can be used for 1.25mm ferrules. It offers a continuous or flashing output mode, and the status LED indicates the VFL’s output. With a range of up to 3km on multimode and 4km on single-mode fiber, this compact tool runs on 2 AA alkaline batteries and has an 80-hour battery life in continuous mode.

Visual Fault Locator

Instruction Sheet

The VisiFault Visual Fault Locator (VFL) is a visible light source

that helps you trace optical fibers, check fiber continuity, and

find faults such as breaks, bad splices, and tight bends in fiber

optic cable.

Safety Information

W*Warning: Class 2 Laser

To avoid possible eye damage caused by hazardous

radiation

• Never look directly into the VFL’s output (item A in

Figure 1). Momentary exposure to the VFL’s output will

not damage your eyes; however, direct, long-term

exposure is potentially hazardous.

• Cover the VFL’s output with the dust cap when the VFL

is not in use.

• Do not open the case (except to open the battery cover

to change the batteries); no user-serviceable parts are

inside.

• Do not modify the VFL.

• Do not magnify or otherwise modify the laser output.

Use only approved connectors and adapters.

• Do not use controls, adjustments, or procedures not

documented or approved by Fluke Networks.

Using the Visual Fault Locator

To use the VFL, refer to Figure 1 and do the following:

1 Remove the VFL’s dust cap; then clean the VFL’s output

adapter and the connector on the fiber to be tested.

2 Plug the fiber optic connector into the VFL’s output (A).

The VFL’s universal fiber adapter accepts connectors with

2.5 mm ferrules (SC, ST, or FC). For 1.25 mm ferrules, use the

optional 1.25 mm universal adapter.

3 Press the key (B) to turn on the VFL.

4 To toggle between continuous and flashing modes, press

the FLASH key (C). The status LED (D) indicates the VFL’s

output status.

5 Turn off the VFL before disconnecting it from the fiber.

Replace the dust cap.

Tips: View the VFL’s light indirectly by holding a white card or

paper in front of the VFL output or the fiber connector

emitting the light.

The VFL’s light may not be visible through thick or dark-

colored cable sheaths or connector dust caps.
